The Will of the People of the Book to Each Other and Their Will and the Muslims to Each Other from the Viewpoint of Imam Riḍā (as)

This study seeks to answer the question of "how is the will of the People of the Book to each other and their will and the will of Muslims to each other evaluated from the viewpoint of Imam Riḍā (as)?" This study shows that due to the importance of communication with relatives and the strength of the family, from the viewpoint of Raḍavi culture, a Muslim will is permissible for his infidel relative. The order of Imam Riḍā (as) to fulfill the will of a Muslim woman who had made a will for a group of poor Christians, results in the permission of a Muslim will for the People of the Book. The will of the People of the Book is permissible for their fellow believers and Muslims, and it is not permissible to change it. Allah's sacraments are important, so some jurists, based on a quote from Imam Riḍā (as), have concluded the permission of the will and donation of Muslims to the temples of the People of the Book. Although some jurists, according to the verse nafy-e sabīl, have not considered it permissible for a Muslim to make a will to an infidel, from the viewpoint of Imam Riḍā (as), the abovementioned verse is not justified on unauthorized guardianship of infidels, because sabīl in this verse is defined as proof and argument. The testimony of the People of the Book on the will of the Muslims is permitted. The permission of the will of the Muslims and the People of the Book to each other, which is specified in the Raḍavi culture, leads to the peaceful coexistence of the Muslims and the People of the Book. This research has been conducted using descriptive-analytical methodology.
